Just installed my 3.5 inch full leaf springs from iron rock off road and love them. It is a night and day difference in ride quality compared to the pos rusty's aal kit I started with. They have 6 thin leafs with a berlin wrapped front eye and poly bushings. Definitely built to last and I highly recommend them. Hope this helps

Build your pack with 2 xj packs, run the shackle, and relocator boxes, it'll fell like a cadillac...you must have the right shocks, otherwise, it will kill the ride.

93XJLI-I have neve been in a lifted anything (other than military vehicles, that are supposed to ride like crap. It's in the contract).

So i don't have anything to compare it to. I haven't gotten a chance to ride in my two buddies XJ's yet. We seem to never have time to meet up anymore.

One has a dakota bastard pack, the other went all out with RE I beilieve.

What do the relocator boxes do that the shackles don't, ride wise? I don't know. Is it best (ride wise) to use both or EITHER OR? Thanks!

Yea, but if you've ridden in a xj with deavers you wouldn't be recommending a bastard pack.

Deavers are also a ridiculous amount of money, not needed of you don't plan on prerunning your jeep...obviously, you are a spectacle of goodness amongst us normal budgeted jeepers...carry on your highness.

The OP asked for quality, you get what you pay for. I don't understand why I'm attacked every time I tell people to get deavers when they ask what the best leaf packs are... Deavers are the best.

Ummm...I think you started it, but it's fine, I'm over it. There a different leaf spring needs for different people..deavers fit you, maybe not others, I'm just giving my opinion. You could of just left it alone...
